...city hall-someone who will neither get into embarrassing fights with him nor challenge him for the governorship. He worried that three possible candidates for mayor might be less amenable than Wagner. They are: 1) Lindsay, who could always change his mind and run again, 2) Democratic Congressman Mario Biaggi, a conservative and much decorated former policeman, who in his Bronx office dispenses help to complaining constituents in the style of the Godfather, and 3) Republican State Senator John Marchi of Staten Island, an able conservative who is indisputably his own man. An overriding consideration: Rocky wants some control over...
...Shangri-La as mayor. As Wagner tells it: "He said he thought it would be a great thing if I ran. And he added: 'Gee, we fought, but at least you kept your word.'

Further the Knapp Commission which studied police corruption published a report that Garelik had accepted gratuities while on the force and this revelation puts a severe damper on his chances...
...cent, there will probably be an additional vote held four weeks later. At this writing, there are a whole host of liberal Jewish candidates considering entering the contest. With two or three Manhattan liberal Jews in the field, the vote should be pretty well split in the first primary. Biaggi will probably finish second because of his organization support. Beame and Biaggi will probably face each other in a run-off with Beame and Biaggi would have to make substantial inroads in the Jewish community. The congressman is already making plans for that. He left for Russia Monday night...
